Hi!
First of all, thanks so much for Cyberduck, an amazing program that I'm
using since 5 years now.
Today I found something that I consider like a bug. Let me explain:
Protocol: SFTP
Distant directory contained files and some symbolic links.
Action: I uploaded a file with the same name of a symlink and choose to
replace expecting it would replace the symlink by the file I'm uploading.
Result: The symbolic link was followed and the file replaced the original
file in the server, instead of the symbolic link pointing to it.
I don't know what is your statement on it, but it seems illogical to me
that the symbolic link is followed in this situation. It leads to a
potential accidental deletion of files. Fortunately, in my case I had a
backup.
